I'm new to the list and new to VA. Researching George Washington CLARK b. 19 Jun 1797 Mecklenburg County, VA; d. 19 Oct 1892 in IL. Veteran War of 1812 Cap't R Pryor's Co. Virginia Militia (I've sent for his NARA records); and Jane R SHELTON b. 31 Mar 1799 Brunswick County, VA, d. 15 Feb 1882 IL. They were gone to IL via AL by the early 1830's. Could someone orient me as to where to go to research them? Thanks, Ken Newton
